Despite Wisconsin starting off the game with a quick 7-2 lead, the IU men’s basketball team rallied back and leads 27-25 at halftime at the Kohl Center.

IU has stayed in the game despite going only 2-of-4 from three-point range in the first half.
However, the Hoosiers shot 50 percent (12-of-24) in the first half while the Badgers were held to 39 percent (10-of-26) from the floor.

Leading the way for the Hoosiers was senior guard Verdell Jones, who leads all scorers with 12 points. Jones has already exceeded his average of 7.7 points per game.

On the other side, senior guard and Wisconsin leading scorer Jordan Taylor has eight points.

The Hoosiers have done most of their damage with their leading scorer, freshman forward Cody Zeller, on the bench for the majority of the half with two fouls. Zeller is scoreless in the first half on 0-for-1 shooting.
